Abstract

Pure polycrystalline zirconium carbide (ZrC) ceramics were fabricated using high-pressure and high-temperature (HPHT) methods, and a systematic and comprehensive study of their properties was conducted. ZrC ceramics sintered at 5.0 GPa pressure and 1300 °C displayed optimal properties, with a Vickers hardness of 27.4 GPa and an indentation fracture toughness of 4.3 MPa·m^1/2, which are 29 % and 39 % higher than the reported experimental data, respectively. Additionally, they had an average grain size of approximately 425 ± 153 nm, a relative density near 98.5 %, a Young's modulus of 412 GPa and an oxidation onset temperature of 713 ℃. This study offers critical insights into the sintering of pure, polycrystalline and fine-grained ceramics and provides a preparation method for improving the mechanical properties of other new ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTCs).

期刊介绍： The Journal of the European Ceramic Society publishes the results of original research and reviews relating to ceramic materials. Papers of either an experimental or theoretical character will be welcomed on a fully international basis. The emphasis is on novel generic science concerning the relationships between processing, microstructure and properties of polycrystalline ceramics consolidated at high temperature. Papers may relate to any of the conventional categories of ceramic: structural, functional, traditional or composite. The central objective is to sustain a high standard of research quality by means of appropriate reviewing procedures.
